	Just before midnight last night, Vivian and Cyrus came for a visit again.
	Vivian researches malaria, one of the four main global diseases.
	I tried to get Vivian&apos;s help with ideas for my paper, but mostly, Vivian&apos;s ideas were ones that I&apos;d already put in my essay notes yesterday or were ideas that I couldn&apos;t directly tie to globalization, and therefor couldn&apos;t include in my paper.
	I worked on my <span title="Globalization">POLS 1503</span> essay some more, though I still need a topic for <span title="Online Education Strategies">UNIV 1001</span> essay.

	<a href="https://marcwithac.bandcamp.com/">Marc With a C</a> put out an <a href="https://twitter.com/MarcFi/status/787319205028851712">open invitation to ask questions</a>, so I <a href="https://twitter.com/Yst_D/status/787341447989170177">asked about</a> Marc&apos;s <a href="https://twitter.com/Yst_D/status/787341525265031172">appending &quot;and meat&quot;</a> to the song I&apos;m In Love With Everyone I know.
	I&apos;ve suspected for a while that it meant that Marc once was a vegetarian but started eating meat, and Marc <a href="https://twitter.com/MarcFi/status/787342139030208512">confirmed it</a>! It sounds like that due to a blood disorder though, they couldn&apos;t eat certain foods and went back to eating meat.

	<h2>Document modifications</h2>
	<p>
		On <a href="/en/weblog/2018/01-January/16.xhtml#Vivian">2018-01-16</a>, my sister, Vivian, requested that I replace all instances of her legal name in my journal with the name &quot;Vivian&quot;.
		She also asked that the name of the organisation she works for be redacted.
		This page was modified to fulfil that request.
